"I think we should never offend the gang leader's girlfriend again."
"Absolutely. We must treat her with the utmost respect. The gang leader's girlfriend is just... terrifying."
Now, every time they closed their eyes, all they could see were scenes of Liang Xiaoxia being tormented.
They doubted they’d get any sleep tonight.
A chill ran down their spines as they recalled their earlier foolishness.
When the "Midnight Rose" had set her sights on the gang leader, they’d actually entertained the idea of persuading him to leave his girlfriend for her.
Thank goodness they hadn’t gotten around to it. If Su Hua ever found out they’d tried to push her man toward another woman, they’d be lucky to escape with their lives.
"Remember this—no matter what happens, we must never cross the gang leader’s girlfriend."
"Got it."
The members of the Golden Dragon Gang nodded fervently.
This was a lesson they couldn’t afford to forget.
Meanwhile, in the room.
Lin Xuan paced back and forth, his eyes flickering repeatedly to the clock on the wall.
Fifty minutes had passed.
Hua still hadn’t returned.
What was she doing?
And why hadn’t Wang Ba responded to his messages? When he’d called, the phone was turned off.
What the hell was going on?
Lin Xuan’s stomach twisted with unease.
No matter what happened outside today, his kidneys were definitely doomed.
Click.
The sound of the doorknob turning.
Lin Xuan froze mid-step.
She was here.
Hua was back.
He took a deep breath and strode forward, determined to seize the initiative.
He’d pull her into a surprise wall-pin—assert some dominance before she could unleash her wrath.
The door swung open.
A man walked in.
Lin Xuan grabbed his wrist, ready to yank him against the wall—then realized it wasn’t Hua.
His brows furrowed, and he immediately let go.
The Golden Dragon Gang member, caught completely off guard, stumbled forward and face-planted onto the floor.
Golden Dragon Gang member: "......?"
Had he done something to anger the gang leader? Why had he been thrown to the ground the second he walked in?
Scrambling up, the man stood before Lin Xuan, voice trembling.
"B-Boss, my apologies." His first instinct was to grovel.
If the gang leader’s girlfriend was that terrifying, then the man who could handle her must be even more fearsome.
Lin Xuan rubbed his nose, slightly guilty.
But he was the gang leader.
He couldn’t admit he’d mistaken him for Hua.
Ahem.
He cleared his throat and adopted a stern tone. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to deliver some daily necessities for your girlfriend." The man gestured to the box of items on the floor.
"I see." Lin Xuan nodded solemnly.
"Next time, knock before entering. I’ll let it slide this time."
The gang member’s eyes widened in realization.
So that was why the boss had reacted so harshly—he hadn’t knocked.
But wait...
Had he really not knocked?
He could’ve sworn he had.
"Dismissed," Lin Xuan ordered.
"Yes, Boss."
The man turned to leave.
"Wait." Lin Xuan called him back.
"Anything else, Boss?"
"Uh..." Lin Xuan coughed lightly. "What’s Hua doing now? Is she on her way here?"
"Hua?" The gang member frowned in confusion.
Who was Hua?
Lin Xuan clarified, "My girlfriend."
The gang member: "!!!"
The boss called his girlfriend Hua?
That... that demoness had a cutesy pet name?
"Hua," "sweetheart"—terms like that were meant for delicate, dotable women.
But the gang leader’s girlfriend? She had fists of steel, and as for her temper...
The man shuddered, images of Liang Xiaoxia’s suffering flashing in his mind.
She was the last person who deserved such an endearing nickname.
Lin Xuan frowned at his dazed expression. "Problem?"
"N-No! None at all!" The man shook his head frantically.
Who was he to question the boss?
"So? Is Hua coming?" Lin Xuan pressed.
Recalling Wang Ba’s warning, the gang member answered carefully, "Boss, your girlfriend was just... talking with Liang Xiaoxia earlier."
"Liang Xiaoxia?" Lin Xuan’s brows knitted.
"The woman who tried to seduce you. They had a... conversation."
Lin Xuan eyed him skeptically. "Just a conversation? She didn’t do anything else?"
Hua was fiercely possessive.
A mere chat didn’t sound like her style.
"Of course just talking! She simply advised Liang Xiaoxia to stay away from you and... reaffirmed your relationship. Boss, your girlfriend is so gentle and kind—she’d never resort to violence."
Gentle and kind?
Lin Xuan’s mind flashed to his past life—Hua carving into Qin Ruoyao’s face, watching her bleed out...
"Boss, she should be here soon. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. I’ll bring fresh supplies later."
"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded.
The gang member gathered the scattered items, clutching his aching back as he limped out.
A fellow gangster, Old Chen, spotted him and frowned. "Old Li, what happened? Who beat you up?"
"The boss."
Old Chen’s eyes widened. "You pissed him off?"
"Yeah." Old Li sighed. "Probably ‘cause I didn’t knock before entering."
That’s what the boss had said, at least.
But something felt off.
"Hey, Old Li..." Old Chen lowered his voice. "The boss’s girlfriend is clearly not someone to mess with. And now that she’s dealt with Liang Xiaoxia... you think the boss is next?"
It all made sense now—why the boss had refused Midnight Rose’s advances.
Not just out of loyalty, but sheer terror.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
